Jesse Flores | Male | 26 | Member | Mentions: Slicker, Diamond, Gunshot "Oh someone like me can only imagine the daily struggle of being that sexy," Jesse chuckled.
He grabbed his hat from Slicker and smirked a little, "That's good to hear, I don't even wanna think about how lonely it would be without you and your handsome face~"
By now, most of the gang was probably used to Jesse and his occasional flirty comments, although Slicker was one of the few guys he felt comfortable saying those things to. Even if he'd known many of the other guys for a long time, he was probably the closest to Slicker and he knew that Slicker wouldn't get mad because of a comment like that, at least not from what Jesse had seen so far.
When Diamond walked away from the two men Jesse nodded at what she said, only realizing right after that she'd probably not seen the nod, he didn't care too much though, he'd just go get her later.
He looked at the other male again and grinned a little, "Alright alright, I'll be quick! Don't die on me now, who will I bother then eh?"
The blond-haired male then gave his horse a quick pat on the side of his neck before walking off towards his tent to get changed.
Once inside, he was quick to strip and throw the wet clothes in a pile on the ground, he'd hang them up to dry later. He was quick to put on new, dry clothes as well as putting on his jacket to keep himself from getting as soaked once more, he'd run out of dry clothes pretty quickly then.
Soon he emerged from the tent and headed over towards Diamond's before he went and eat with Slicker and the others.
"Hey Smoke," he said to the horse outside the tent, he didn't try to pet the mare, knowing that she didn't like it too much when you touched her.
"Knock knock," Jesse said, a small warning to Diamond that he was gonna open the tent, in case she felt the need to hide something from him.
He opened the tent and stuck his head inside, "I was gonna go eat with Slicker now, you co-"
He turned his head and reached for his gun simultaneously when he heard people yelling behind him, it took him a second to realize what they were all yelling about until he saw the chestnut horse with a familiar looking rider on its back.
"No way..." he mumbled under his breath before looking back at Diamond, "Uh food, now, Gunshot..!" he quickly managed to get out before spinning around and taking off.
It only took him a few seconds before he stood next to Slicker, now also trying to catch his breath. "I- You're here? How? I mean I thought you were dead, we all did!" he exclaimed, he felt a mix of emotions currently, he was excited, ofcourse, someone who'd been gone for about a year had just returned but he was also surprised, in disbelief and confused, all at once.
"You bastard I can't believe it. Gun you have no idea how happy I am to see you alive, you gotta tell us what you've been up to since we last saw you!" |

Ben|Male| Member| Mentions: Adaline|
Ben smiled softly and walked next to Adaline. Ben didn't know where to go or what to do, but he figured that he could just walk in a straight line and just talk to Adaline for a little while. Ben walked in silence for a bit, just enjoying the peacefulness of his surroundings. Ben kept on walking until he found a blue feather stuck to a blade of tall grass, Ben picked it up and twirled it around in his had, it was a really shiny blue feather, Ben smiled at it and held it out to Adaline "That is for you." Ben said as he put it in her hand "My mother used to think colorful feathers like that one were a sign of good luck." Ben said with slumped shoulders and a slight, sad frown, but he perked up and smiled again "hope you like it." Ben said before beginning to walk again.
Ben kept on walking, he wanted to talk to Adaline but he had no clue on what to say. "I'm glad that the rain cleared up..." Ben said with a happy voice. "I'm not sure what to do other than walk." Ben said, only a hint of nervousness hung in his voice.
Ben looked around, the sun was shining brightly and a very light cool breeze blew through the air and the rain had come to a complete stop, it was a beautiful day. Ben looked over at Adaline "so what do you want to do?" Ben asked as he continued to walk.

Adaline I Female I Second in Comand I Mentions: Ben (Dir.) Adaline followed Ben, enjoying the silence. She knew she was going to tear into Gunshot for going back to the gang when he was heavily wanted, but she was leaving that scolding for later. Right now she was determined to take some time to herself and enjoy it for once. She smiled when he gave her the feather. She loved gifts, in her opinion it was better than words. Words could be manipulated into whatever you wanted, but gifts and actions definitely made a point. She took notice of him seeming to be slightly sad when he mentioned his mom and she wondered if something terrible had happened to her, like her own mom.
She heard him say that he didn't know what to do but walk and that made her frown slightly. She had no idea either. What did you even do when you like people and they liked you? She'd heard of dating, but she had no concept of how to approach that or where to even start. "Truthfully I have no idea what to do either. This is all new to me." She said in answer to him, looking over with a sligt blush. "I don't even know what to do, probably should've thought this all out more..." she mumbled the last part, trying to think. "If you can tell I don't really... relax a lot. So this is all pretty new. Although I will say that this easily tops being back at camp around those lunics." She said, grinning over at him. She was very nervous she was going to say the wrong thing and he wouldn't like her anymore. It was always a concern in her mind. "I'm really bad at this, sorry." She mumbled, running one hand through the side of her hair nervously. It was weird for her to be that nervous, but she kinda liked it to. "What do you usually do for fun?" |

Diamond Caleden|female| Member| Mentions: Jesse,Slicker,Gunshot| - Diamond was quick to follow Jesse over to Gunshot,though she kept silent with the shock of him being alive.She stared at the male."He's alive?!"she thought and quickly looked for something to discract herself with. Diamond walked over to Smoke and gently laid her hand on the mare's head.She stroked Smoke's head and played with her mane a bit."He is back, surprisingly"Diamond informed the mare who just looked at her. Diamond smiled at the mare. She made her way to the edge of camp where she sat with Smoke's head in her lap.Diamond sloppily braided her hair and Smoke's mane.Diamond smiled and leaned her head down kissing the mare's muzzle and inhaling her scent. Smoke lifted head and pushed Diamond's cheek."Sorry but I don't have any treats on me!"the female told the mare stroking her inbetween the ears. Diamond didn't really want a lot of social interaction with more than one or two people at the moment.She stretched her arms up and yawned.The night before she had been out in the woods all night, though no one knew that.Diamond looked at Smoke and saw she had fallen asleep. Diamond slowly shifted and moved the mare's head off of her.She sat crossed legged and pondered about life.She slightly chuckled when she remembered the time the law caught her when she was fourteen and she had lied her way out."Why did I return?"she asked herself aloud before shaking her head grinning to herself.She looked to Smoke's sleeping form"What a good horse...."she whispered and reached her hand to pet the mare.As she patted the mare's head she smiled before standing up and scrambling up the tree she was leaning against.As she climbed up she found a sturdy branch and sat on it legs dangling. |

Hickory "Gunshot" Jones | Male | Member | Literally everyone at camp- (except Asta and Sameen) In an extended rush, the gang walked up with their usual- and familiar- expressions. It was almost as if they were pushing each other to say hello to someone they hadn't seen for ages. But why was he so interesting? Most Western of the group, no m'tter what they say. He was a loner. None of them made a big deal off him before. Still, it was at least comforting to know someone missed him. "Sure has, Roxie. Been chasin' the sheriff off your tracks," His western drawl brought itself forward, becoming thick and heavy in his words. Dismounting Dallas, he tipped his hat to the rest of them. Casually, his eyes followed both Ben and Adaline as they walked out of the scene. Figures. "The law ain't caught me yet, Lotte." He gave a thin smirk to Slicker. Man has some spirit. "Better be alive, Slick. Sure glad they haven't stuck me in a ditch." He pulled the feed bag off Dallas' head, looking down impassively into the mix of barley and whiskey. Tossing it aside, he rested against the side of his horse before acknowledging the last two to walk up to him. "Jesse. Diamond." His eyes flicked over the crowd. He wasn't about to show them he was tired- they didn't need to know he'd as soon passed out as greeted them. "Trying not to be dead. How're y'all? I'm sure there's been more money 'round with the trouble off your tail." In truth, he was really glad to be back. With those he knew and those he didn't. He made a note to know the newcomers better- likely preferring to stay out of the drama. That was fine. He'd get to know them later. Returning to the group's barrage of questions, he turned back to Roxie. "Just doing a little chasing 's'all. Fired a few shots off to the sheriff, made a name for m'self as wanted. Took a trip down south to Texas. Pinkertons ain't gonna get me killed, though I might'a taken a bullet a coupl'a times." He moved his shoulder in a circular fashion. Of the bullets he'd been hit with, two were in his left. Who knows if they're still there. He'd been able to take a few out using different bullet shells and vodka, but there were still pockmarks and twisted-up bruises from some attempts he hadn't been able to get. Have ta see Lotte about that. For a moment, he closed his eyes, then lazily sweeped them over the people gathered around. Least it's a warm welcome. |

Amber Zambak | Female | Member | M: Everyone Amber watched Sameen mount up, she was hiding something. Amber wasn't one to prod so she left it be. "Yeah we should get going, it's probably gonna rain much harder." Sameen said and Amber nodded in agreement. Sameen started ahead with Wildfire but Amber waited until she was out of sight before starting back. She kept Storm at a walk, enjoying the silence.
Amber would usally make sure everyone was okay and that everything was fine, but she was just so spaced out lately. She didn't know why but it was simply irritating. The rain was getting worse so she upped Storm's speed to a trot. Making it back to camp, she quickly untacked him before heading inside. Laying down, she listened to the sounds around her before falling asleep.
~~~~
Amber woke up to no rain hitting the roof of her tent, meaning it had stopped raining. Also meant she didn't have to be cooped up in here. The tent was for sleeping and getting dressed, nothing else. Sighing, Amber got up before going outside. The camp was lively surprisingly. It looked like someone had arrived.
Walking out, she spotted the person responsible for the liveliness of the camp. Hickory known as Gunshot. She knew him pretty good from past times, he was most likely still running from cops. She would probably greet him in a bit. Walking over to her horse, she watched the others greet him and talk while Amber tacked up Storm.
Conner, Sameen, Lotte and Vera were off to one side, still at the breakfast table while Jesse, Diamond and Slicker was over near Gunshot. Asta and Roxie was close by as well with Ben and Adaline going off for a walk together. "Lucky pair." Amber muttered to herself before mounting up on Storm. She had never been one to look for, what was the word, 'love'. Whatever that meant.
She watched Hickory for a moment before clicking her tongue quietly to Storm. They had some coyotes to skin. Bringing him to a brisk trot, she took the path towards Dead Drop Canyon. Reaching the clearing where they had the coyotes in the rain, she noted that two were missing. Damn coyotes eating their own kind. She thought to herself before dismounting. Picking up one body, she threw it onto Storm's back, fastening it before reaching for another. Once all three were on, she mounted back up before heading back.
Making it back to the clearing, she took the coyotes over to one side before hanging them. She would tend to the skins as soon as she found her favorite skinning dagger. Now where was it...oh yes, there it was. Amber pulled it out of one of the lower saddle bags on Storm before starting the skinning process on the coyotes. If she was lucky, no one would ask and she didn't have to tell them about Sameen. Give the girl a bit of privacy of whether to tell the gang she got in a fight with coyotes or not.
Wasn't Amber's business anyway, she had just been there to help. Although, she did wonder what Sameen had been wanting to do over at dead man canyone but she pushed the thought out of her mind. Finishing one coyote, she started on the second one. |

[ Roxie Sweet ] | Female | Member | Mentions: Hickory and Ollie (Indirect) | - Roxie scanned over Gunshot for a good minute. “As long as you ain’t dead or nothin’. I was starting to get pretty damn bored without you. The only thing I’ve been able to do is read, do laundry, and bother Ollie… I can never tell if I’m doing a good job at that or not because he just makes the same blank face. I’m not even allowed out of camp anymore! I mean, I went out today but uh… my horse got killed by a cougar…” She sighed, glancing at the ground for a moment before looking back up at Gunshot. Her eyes flickered with excitement. “And Ollie… When I told him… he said he’d go help me catch one… Ollie ain’t never done anything that nice to me, or anyone as a matter of fact…” She said, suddenly sighing. “I sort of feel like I did something wrong to him… Oh, but whatever! I’m so excited! You better not get caught by the sheriff now or I’ll have to continue to sit in this camp for the rest of my life! But one thing before ya go… would you maybe like to go with me and Ollie to catch me a horse tomorrow? Ollie told me to bring someone and since you're back, and the only one who would trust me with a horse, would ya like to come and help us… maybe?” She asked him, staring up at him, waiting for an answer. Her and Hickory had been friends for a long time and she definitely looked up to him like a brother. She did indeed have brothers but neither of them were anything like Gunshot. One shot dead and the other living in the middle of nowhere. She hadn’t seen him for the whole year he was away and she was starting to lose faith she’d ever get out of camp with the others on her back, especially now that she got her horse killed the first time she’d been out in months. |

Rosa Mae "Rose" Alden | Female | Member | Stefan, Lotte, camp-people (ind) The daily routine was the same as always, perhaps a little more tense. Lucas, as normal, was running around their small campsite like a madman. I'll have to leave him here again. "Luc, would ya mind taking care of the place for me again? I'll be taking Jacques down to camp." Like the good sort, he jsut nodded his head. His words disagreed with him. "I ain't comin' with you, mama?"
She watched him for a moment, mouth twitching. He can make me say yes. "Alright, but you're gonna have'ta be quiet. This's only the third time you've been. The adults, we gotta do work, alright?" Hoisting him up, she set Lucas on the back of the horse. He waved his arms around a few times before going back to nodding. "A'right, mama." She hoisted herself up onto the Mustang before flicking at his reins. Straight away, Jacques obliged, galloping forward at his usual pace to get to camp. Each time, they'd gone some slightly different route than the last- there was no need to cause suspicion if the sheriff found the camp. The ride was fairly short, as expected. It only took a couple of minutes to get to camp, and even then, the ride went by speedy with a chatty child on board. As soon as they arrived, she noticed a few people around camp. They were doing their daily routine, whatever they happened to want to do in the afternoon. Among them, she spotted two that could take Lucas off her hands. Stefan and Lotte. "Luc, why don't you go play with Lotte? She hasn't seen ya' in a long time, darling." Dismounting Jacques, she tied him to one of the horse posts. Moving to Luc, she pushed him towards Lotte. But he simply strutted over to her and started talking. "Have you ever seen a cattle? Do y'all use lights? I..." His voice faded out as she changed her course, walking right up to the man responsible for the cocky terror. "Ya created the mess there, darlin'." |

Stefan Althaus | Male | Member | Mentions: Rose, Lucas, Lotte (direct)
-
Stefan had awoke later that day, despite Lotte's calling for everyone to wake up at a decent time. Checking the small hand-watch that sat on the small desk. It read at 1:21 PM. And in that moment, Stefan couldn't help buy sigh.
Man, he missed his morning drinks.
Stefan groaned softly, picking up his hat from the table and slipping it onto his head before he decided he would actually do things today. Apart from drinking, of course, and maybe smoking a few cigarettes. Those were the main things, but more or less, actual useful chores would be the side gig. Stefan huffed at the thought, but he knew that he needed to at least do something to keep his mind off of other things... Like drinking.
What a strange world, right?
Stefan began by gathering his own clothing that Lotte had washed days prior, but he simply never retrieved them. He sighed softly, returning back to his tent only to put them on the table. He stared at them for a moment. What was he doing? This wasn't him.
Stefan scoffed, only to hear the other voices of the other gang members. Stefan inhaled sharply, shifting his weight before he exited the tent, only to spot someone entering the camp. Although the horse looked oddly familiar, Stefan squinted slightly to see a woman and a child, only to see her dismount the horse and push the kid off towards his sister. He scoffed silghtly, a smirk appearing on his dull face before he spotted Rose approach him.
Lotte and Lucas went off, seeing that Lotte had missed the kid. Stefan looked over to Rose, cocking a brow. "You'd be surprised at the things I create. That there ain't no mess. He's your mess," Stefan stated, giving a slight nod as he faced the smaller woman.
"What brings you 'round here?" |
